Information
      I wanted to create something very touching that did not involve Acrylic Engraving for those that don't want to go this route. Now you can enjoy this breathtaking 3D silhouette decoration in 3 different ways: Plug-in Night Light using inexpensive Plug-in's from Walmart, Use it with a tea cup candle light LED or simply place as a table top decor anywhere you want to display it. 

Please NOTE: In case video does not start directly at the assembly of Plug-in LED module you can go straight to min 3:41 in assembly video. 
    
Instruction
1
Step1: Engraving of Flower Pattern

In this step the laser will engrave the flower patterns which you can then easily color. Remember that if you accidentally happen to color inside the engraved outline you can simply place piece back into cutout and engrave again to clean out outline. 

Helpful Tip: You can see video towards end to see what I mean about running a second engraving process in case you want to clean up your lines after you paint.

Step2: Scoring of Flower details

I added this process in order to make this design stand out by itself and also to allow for you to paint and still see details of flowers.

Step3: Cutting of all components

In this process the laser machine will cut out all objects needed for this build. You can see video for assembly of all components. 

 

Please note: In video it will be assebly of my other “Acrylic Night Light" assembly should be the same for the plug-in module except for top piece which is designed to be arranged in what you like best. Before adhering all pieces in place check arrangement that you like (Design creates many different light effects with different arrangements) with or without light and then permanently adhere it to Plug-in module.
